Problems solved by technology

These methods of mounting the displays are problematic insofar as the fixed mounts do not allow for adjustment and the hanging mounts protrude from the device, which get in the way of other equipment and obscure the operating field.
Additionally, the anesthesia machines do not provide an operating room compatible keyboard for entry of patient data.

Embodiment Construction

[0014] In the operating room environment, it is essential that operator displays be integrated into the main workspace of the anesthesia machines. The present invention generally provides an anesthesia machines with at least one display adjustably integrated into to the main body of the machine so as not to protrude out of the frame and thereby not obstruct the operator's view of the operation site. Referring to FIG. 1, an anesthesia machine according to one embodiment of this invention includes a machine frame 102 appropriately equipped for use in administering anesthesia to patients during a surgical intervention. The anesthesia machine also includes at least one display 104, such as a flat panel display, for patient monitoring that is adjustably mounted to the machine frame 102. The displays 104 are preferably mounted to move in at least one degree of freedom with respect to the frame 102. For instance, the display 104 may be adopted to be adjusted in a X-X direction 110 so as to...

Abstract

The present invention provides an integrated anesthesia machine with at least one display adjustably integrated into to the main body of the machine so as not to protrude out of the frame and thereby not obstruct the operator's view of the operation site. The anesthesia machine generally includes a machine frame appropriately equipped for use in administering anesthesia to subjects during a surgical intervention at least one display, such as a flat panel display, for patient monitoring that is adjustably mounted to the machine frame.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 456,135.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention relates to medical devices. More particularly, the present invention relates to integrated anesthesia machines. [0003] Anesthesia machines are made available by a number of manufacturers, such as Datex-Ohmeda, which are generally used during surgical interventions to deliver anesthesia to a subject. The machines may be combined with a variety of monitoring systems for monitoring anesthesia delivered, patient cardiac vital signs, etc. Each monitoring system, however, requires a separate display screen. The display screens are typically fixedly mounted onto the anesthesia machine or mounted to hang of the side of the machine. These methods of mounting the displays are problematic insofar as the fixed mounts do not allow for adjustment and the hanging mounts protrude from the device, which get in the way of other equipmen...
